TVHC Improvements
Version 1.1a
December 1993
Far Niente Productions
Introduction ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
This package is intended to make your TVHC work much more pleasant.
It makes it easy to edit your help texts in the IDE and get nice
pin-pointing error reports in the message window for easy error
tracking.
THERE ARE NO WARRANTIES WHATSOEVER, USE THIS PACKAGE ON YOUR OWN
RISK.
This is intended for Borland Pascal, but if you port it to BC++ I'd
like a copy.
I hope that you will find this package useful.
Package Contents ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
This package contains a TVHC message filter and an improved TVHC
which is better at reporting the actual line number that caused an
error or warning.

Instructions ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Compile TVHC2MSG and the modified TVHC included in this package, put
the resulting EXEs somewhere in your path, add a TVHC tool under
Options│Tools if you haven't already done so and add this to the
tool's command line:
$SAVE ALL $CAP MSG(TVHC2MSG) $NOSWAP
(Tip: You can copy the text and paste it into the input line)
You also have to add the name of your help file to the above, the
TVToys TVHC Tool command line looks like this:
$SAVE ALL $CAP MSG(TVHC2MSG) $NOSWAP helptest helptest helpctx
I always use $SAVE ALL which saves all editor files, but you might
prefer $SAVE CUR which only saves the current editor.
You can use TVHC2MSG with the original TVHC, but you won't get very
good error line references. You also have to define ForceExtension,
see TVHC2MSG.PAS
TVHC Bugs Fixed ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Reports the .TXT file name in error messages rather than the .HLP
file.
If there is an error opening or creating a file, the file name in
question is now printed correctly.
TVHC Improvements ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
Reports the actual line numbers of all lines containing unresolved
help references. Originally TVHC attributed any such errors to the
last line of the file.
Reports both actual line numbers for redefined help topics rather
than the last line of the second help topic.
(The "actual" line refers to the line where the offending item
actually resides)
Tip ▄
▀▀▀▀▀▀▀▀
You might want to review your Options│Environment│Preferences
options:
[X] Close on go to source
Pressing Ctrl+Enter in the message window closes the message window
[X] Auto track source
Moving the highlight bar in the message window highlights the
corresponding source line immediately.
